//Then move the control back to main web page-
driver.switchTo().window(mainPage); → to switch back to main page.
9. How do you launch IE/chrome browser?
Ans: Before launching IE or Chrome browser we need to set the System property.
//To open IE browser
System.setProperty(“webdriver.ie.driver”,”path of the iedriver.exe file ”);
WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
4 //To open Chrome browser →
System.setProperty(“webdriver.chrome.driver”,”path of the chromeDriver.exe file ”);
5 WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
10.How to perform right click using WebDriver?
Ans:Use Actions class
1. Actions act = new Actions(driver);
2 .// where driver is WebDriver type
3. act.moveToElement(webElement).perform();
4. act.contextClick().perform();
11.How do perform drag and drop using WebDriver?
Ans:Use Action class
1. Actions act = new Actions(driver);
2. WebElement source = driver.findElement(By.xpath(“ —–”));
//source ele whichyou want to drag
3.WebElement target = driver.findElement(By.xpath(“ —–”));
//target where you want to drop
4. act.dragAndDrop(source,target).perform();
12.Give the example for method overload in WebDriver.
Ans:Frame(string), frame(int), frame(WebElement).
13.How do you upload a file?
Ans: To upload a file we can use sendKeys() method.
1 driver.findElement(By.xpath(“input field”)).sendKeys(“path of the file which u want to upload”);
14.How do you click on a menu item in a drop down menu?
Ans:If that menu has been created by using select tag then we can use the methods
selectByValue() or selectByIndex() or selectByVisibleText().
These are the methods of the Select class.
If the menu has not been created by using the select tag then we can
simply find the xpath of that element and click on that to select.
15.How do you simulate browser back and forward ?
Ans:
1driver.navigate().back();
2 driver.navigate().forward();
16.How do you get the current page URL ?
Ans:
1 driver.getCurrentUrl();
17.What is the difference between ‘/’ and ‘//’ ?
Ans://- it is used to search in the entire structure.
/- it is used to identify the immediate child.
18.What is the difference between findElement and findElements?
Ans:Both methods are abstract method of WebDriver interface and used to
find the WebElement in a web page.
findElement() – it used to find the one web element. It return only one WebElement type.
findElements()- it used to find more than one web element. It return List of WebElements.
19.How do you achieve synchronization in WebDriver ?
Ans:We can use implicit wait.
Syntax- driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
Here it will wait for 10sec if while execution driver did not find
the element in the page immediately.
This code will attach with each and every line of the script automatically.
It is not required to write every time. Just write it once after opening the browser.

Maintaining consistency of Testing, Improves test structuring, Minimum usage of code, Less Maintenance of code, Improve re-usability, Non Technical testers can be involved in code, Training period of using the tool can be reduced, Involves Data wherever appropriate.
There are five types of framework used in software automation testing:
1-Data Driven Automation Framework
2-Method Driven Automation Framework
3-Modular Automation Framework
4-Keyword Driven Automation Framework
5-Hybrid Automation Framework ,its basically combination of different frameworks. (1+2+3).

a) It supports with most of the language like Java, Python, Ruby, C# etc.
b) Doesn’t require to start server before executing the test script.
c) It has actual core API which has binding in a range of languages.
d) It supports of moving mouse cursors.
e) It support to test iphone/Android applications.
28.What is WebDriverBackedSelenium ?
Ans:WebDriverBackedSelenium is a kind of class name where we can create an object for it as below:
Selenium wbdriver= new WebDriverBackedSelenium(WebDriver object name, “URL path of website”)
The main use of this is when we want to write code using both WebDriver and Selenium RC , we must use above created object to use selenium commands.
